The art on the lobby cards is featured on the mini-disc holders inside the set making them slightly redundant. I completely agree with that. Plus the lobby cards are not true "cards" at all. At least the way I look at it. I expected them to have a backing more like baseball cards with a solid backing and not so flimsy. But all in all I love the set. Am I misunderstanding this, or are you guys thinking that the discs will still be in individual, thin dvd cases on the new non-deluxe box set? And FYI, anybody, if you don't mind paying more ($65) you can get the deluxe version from MST3K.com autographed by Jim/Gypsy.

It's assumed that the non-deluxe set is simply going to be the box inside the tin. So, yes, the thin individual dvd cases should be there.

Anyone from Canada (or Quebec especially) find the set in stores?? They said they would have it by today but...they don't! I guess I'll have to settle for a regular boxset...grrr.

The Canadian release was the 4th, for whatever reason. My copy just came in from Amazon.ca yesterday. Where in Canada are you? I know that Bay Street Video in Toronto has it in stock, as does the Cinema 1 chain, but that only covers parts of southern Ontario.

I just ordered it today from DeepDiscount and the said it was currently out-of-stock. If they ship me the standard edition I'm going to have to complain because the price I'm paying is for the Deluxe set.

not to rain on any parades--but if this works like other limited sets I've seen in the past, the price will be exactly the same.

Actually, the Amazon pre-order for the non-deluxe set has an MSRP that's $10 lower than the limited edition ($59.99 vs. $69.99).
Of course, they're charging $53.99 (as opposed to $49.99 for the tin) for the pre-order at this time, so it doesn't really matter right now....

that's pretty cool...if the price difference makes a difference on future sets i'll probably wait for the regular release--as fun as the LE stuff is, it's mainly just clutter.

If anyone needs a copy and lives in the Delaware area, I saw a tin set at the Music for a Song store in the Rehoboth Beach outlets. It was $49.99.

I still see plenty of them in stores around where I live. In fact I bought one of them today. Yay.

I'll be just fine with the standard set. I really don't need the extras.

If you do want the extra's, now is the time to make your move. My Borders.com order is back ordered so I'm sure that I won't see the Limited Edition Tin with the goodies from them. I found one at a Border's B & M the other day and picked it up as a failsafe. Looks like a good move right now.
Overstock and DeepDiscount still appear to be out of stock, but Amazon still lists it as In Stock.
Good luck
